[SOLD-OUT] Bannockburn 1314 AD Chardonnay 2022

 

"It opens with beautiful ripe fruits, white florals and mineral accents framed by a nip of reduction. A touch more athletic than last year, it’s a finely drawn and focused release with impressive flavour intensity, nose-to-tail energy and some lovely phenolic grip. The lengthy finish is rounded out by a refreshing orange-skin bitterness and moreish citrus tang. Just a fantastic, unpretentious Chardonnay. Great now, it will only improve in the bottle.

A cracking follow up to the ’21, this Chardonnay is sourced from across Bannockburn’s organically farmed estate vineyards, and includes a parcel from the pedigreed 1976 vines. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed and settled overnight. Fermented wild, the wine rested on lees with no stirring for eight months, before blending and bottling. The 2022 saw 20% new oak which is faultlessly integrated." - Bannockburn
